Great overnight stop off on our road trip, travelling with pet - easy to find, late check-in was efficient and the amenities were exactly what we needed. The setting was beautiful and reception team were helpful before and after our arrival.

The main thing that we would recommend is improved is...

A different experience then the south of France camp sites. Much more compact. Vans close together, hard pitches. Not much privacy. Pool was nice. Small.. bar area was nice. Showers ok, play area..

The only place to get water for the caravan was from the motor home fill point right next to the chemical waste disposal which was...
